Instructions
1. Positioning the Switch: For desktop or shelf mounting, attach
the four adhesive foot pads to the bottom of the switch. For rack
mounting, install into a standard EIA 19-inch rack using the
included brackets.
2. Applying Power: Plug one end of the power cord into the socket
on the switch’s rear panel, and the other end into an appropriate
electrical outlet. Check the Power LED to be sure power is on.
Note: It is not necessary to power off the switch before connecting
or disconnecting any UTP cables, as these actions will not disrupt the
operation of other devices attached to the switch.
3. Connecting PCs: Connect each PC to an RJ-45 port on the
switch using Category 5 or 5e shielded or unshielded twisted-pair
(UTP or STP) cable, maximum length 100 meters (328 ft). The EZ
Switch 10/100 will support up to 16 or 24 PCs. All ports on the
switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use
straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or
servers, or to other switches or hubs.
Note: If an attached device does not support auto-negotiation, the
data rate will be sensed automatically and the communication mode
will default to half duplex.
4. Cascading Switches and Other Network Devices: All the
ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration
for cable connections. This allows you to use straight-through
cable to connect to other switches or hubs from any port on the
switch. No crossover cables or other device settings are needed.
See the Cable Specifications.
Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port.
This switch, instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45
connectors that conform with FCC standards.
